-
Re: Game thread today?
Oh well maybe it is best if we just ignore the game today.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
1-0 Astros after 3 innings. Backe 27 pitches, Harang 33.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Harang has retired seven straight.

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
If Gameday is to be believed, BP just swung at a pitch a foot outside and low.

You've got to love the aggressiveness...

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Reds out in order. I think the Astros have scored enough to win this one today.

Haha I saw that too, except I didn't see who it was at first. I muttered to myself, "Phillips?" and sure enough it was him.

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
August has been a rough month for the offense.
Aug OPS:
Bruce .701
BP .670
Patterson .666 (actually pretty solid for Corey)
EE .628
Kepp .562
Bako .348
On the good side:
Dickerson 1.035
Votto .917
Hanigan .875
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Geoff Blum picks up a two out single to break Harang's string of nine in a row retired.

Reminiscient of Sept 06.

That proves it. Patterson is just purely the devil. ;)

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Harang K's Pence to end the 4th.
1-0 Astros.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Does Patterson's August surge mean he might be back in 2009?
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Another 1-2-3 inning for Backe. He's got a 2-hitter through 5.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
well that half inning flew bye

49 pitches after 5 innings.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Humberto Quintero homers to make it 2-0.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
2-0 Astros after Quintero hits his 2nd homer of the season.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Good grief. Humberto Quintero belts a one out solo homerun to make it 2-0. Quintero has two homeruns in 118 atbats this season, both homers have been against the Reds.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
2 might be enough with the way Backe is pitching.

Who gave up the 1st?
I just looked...it was Masset.

Is it the way he's pitching or the way the Reds are hacking?
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Perhaps Aaron has some design ideas for moving the fences back at Minute Maid Park as well...I'm kidding, I'm kidding I love Harang...

Good question. The Reds appear to be hacking but it's hard to tell watching Gameday.

Correct on Massett. I was at that game. With two outs in the inning, Michael Bourn hit a groundball down the line that Massett bobbled for an error. Quintero followed with a 2-run homer that would've never happened had Masset not committed that error.

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Harang: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 6 K
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Is that the first full count of the game for Backe?

Our Reds are wonderful self esteem therapy for opposing pitchers...
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Hanigan was a bit too patient there. Strikes out looking, never swinging the bat.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Dickerson singles. Two down for Kepp.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
I just saw the video of Wigginton's homerun. That wouldn't even have been a homerun in the GABP.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Dickerson gets picked off.
Backe - 6 IP, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K

Stop hanging around Patterson and Freel.

Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
I have never seen a team get picked off as much as this one.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
Another homer for Wigginton. I need a cold beverage now.
-
Re: Reds vs Stros 8-28-08
This is just like earlier in the year. Aaron pitches well but gets no runs.
